Xebii Buddy. If you want to share some views than please don't remove them because I can read them but my dear readers would be unable to read what you have said. So Since you have deleted your comment than I will Tell what you said in above Comment

Xebii MJ Said: "The post still lacks at some points!What if a blogger blog using a custom template, and there is no <b:include data='blog' name='google-analytics'/>?then this whole post would be failed, only a few % of blogs are using default templates provided by Blogger.

Going hard on other bloggers doesn't hide the fact that you ran-out of ideas! "-----------------------------------------------------------

My Answer:Do you think this post lacks? I don't think so buddy, i guess you have to refurbish your skills buddy because there is no need to add the Include attribution to the Templates either that is provided by Blogger or it is custom template. You can try both methods and it will work accurately without adding the attribution that you quoted.

As per the Ideas, Well to be honest, we have some tons of ideas and the team is working daily to provide some highly professional content and this article is the result of that.

I should have done these steps a long time ago, but I have a problem with google analytics loading speed... it almost took me 30 minutes by just logging in, my Internet speed is running at 1mbps, still I have problems with that site... I dont know whats the problem, my internet connection or the website... I just dont get it, why google analytics loads very slow on my laptop... do you have any idea why...

Syed, I guess he is using OpenId as his commenting system. So, be a little kind with people. I am seeing that you are becoming rude day by day. This is not done yet. I guess you should read your own emotion control post.
